LESSON  1]. 
As  the  young  lambs,  so  brisk  and  gay, 
On  the  green  grass  do  skip  and  play ; 
They  look  so  mild,  and  free  from  harm, 
Their  sport  and  play  our  eyes  do  charm. 
Thus  may  we  live  in  love  and  peace. 
That  so  all  noise  and  strife  may  cease.

As  we  would  have  men  do  to  us,  the  same  we  must 
do  to  them. 

If  we  love  none  but  those  who  love  us,  what 
thanks  have  we  ?  bad  men  do  the  same :  but  we 
must  love  our  foes,  and  pray  for  those  who  treat  us 
with  scorn,  and  mock  us  :  that  we  may  be  like  Him 
who  made  all  things,  and  does  good  to  all.

LESSON  7. 
The  time  will  come  when  all  of  us  must  die,  and 
be  laid  in  the  earth ;  and  though  the  grave  hold  our 
bones,  yet  the  soul  will  not  die. 

Then  let  us  not  waste  one  hour  of  our  time  in 
vain  talk  or  evil  deeds ;  but  let  us  watch  -"  '  j  i"''

LESSON  14. 

John  was  not  very  well;  but  he  was  not  so  sick 
as  to  need  a  doctor. 

Yet  he  was  fretful,  and  his  nurse  said  he  was 
cross ;  so  she  put  him  in  a  dark  closet,  to  punish 
him  and  make  him  be  quiet. 

But  he  cried  the  more,  with  fear  and  anger,  so 
that  he  was  m  danger  of  going  into  fits. 

Little  boys  should  not  be  put  into  a  dark  room  or 
closet  to  correct  them,  even  when  they  are  cross ; 
but  when  they  are  sick  or  not  well,  it  is  cruel  to 
punish  them.

LESSON  9. 

The  path  of  virtue  is  the  path  of  peace ;  in  that 
only  can  we  walk  with  safety. 

Pride  goeth  before  ruin,  and  a  lofty  spirit  before 
a  fall. 

Then  let  not  pride  have  a  place  in  thy  heart,  but 
strive  to  keep  thy  mind  humble. 

Be  not  wise  in  thy  own  eyes,  but  put  thy  trust  in 
the  Lord,  and  thou  shalt  bo  safe.

It  is  a  good  thing  to  learn  to  read. 

And  if  you  would  learn  to  read  Avell,  you  must

LESSON  5.. 

One  of  the  first  things  you  have  to  learn,  when 
you  begin  to  read,  is  to  take  care  of  your  books. 

A  clean  book  looks  much  better  than  a  dirty  one ; 
then  try  to  keep  your  books  neat  and  clean,  and  do 
not  let  the  leaves  get  torn,  or  curled  at  the  corners. 

And  when  you  have  done  with  them,  put  them  in 
the  right  place,  that  you  may  know  where  to  find 
them  safe  and  clean.

And  when  we  lie  down  at  night  to  take  our  rest, 
let  us  look  over  the  past  day ;  and  if  we  find  any 
thing  said  or  done  amiss,  let  us  be  sorry  for  it,  and 
ask  our  Father  in  heaven  to  forgive  us. 

But  if  we  have  not  said  or  done  any  thing  wrong 
through  the  day,  let  us  be  thankful  to  him  who  has 
kept  us  from  evil  by  his  grace ;  and  then  we  may 
go  to  sleep  in  peace,  and  put  our  trust  in  his  good- 
ness and  love.

The  squirrel  leaps  from  tree  to  tree, 

But  sits  to  crack  the  nuts,  we  see : 

When  caught  and  tam'd,  he'll  often  play, 

But  if  let  loose,  he'll  run  away, 

His  native  freedom  to  enjoy. 

Nor  care  for  man,  nor  dog,  nor  boy. 

LESSON  12. 

The  whale  is  a  very  large  fish :  some  of  them 
are  said  to  be  fifty  or  sixty  feet  long. 

They  live  in  the  sea,  a  great  way  off;  but  men  go 
there  in  ships,  and  kill  them,  in  order  to  get  the  oil. 

They  are  so  fat,  that  the  oil  from  one  whale  will 
fill  a  great  number  of  barrels. 

Oil  is  used  to  burn  in  lamps,  to  give  us  light  in 
the  night.     It  is  also  useful  in  many  other  ways.

and  he  will  bless  thee. 

He  is  ever  near  us,  to  do  us  good :  and  though 
we  cannot  see  him  with  our  outward  eyes,  yet  we 
may  feel  his  goodness  in  our  hearts,  and  partake  of 
his  love  by  day  and  by  night.

^et  high. 

The  juice  of  the  cane,  being  pressed  out,  is  very 
sweet,  and  is  boiled  till  it  becomes  brown  sugar. 
This  is  made  into  white  or  loaf  sugar  by  refining  it.

LESSON  7. 

Flax  is  a  plant  which  bears  a  blue  flower,  and 
grows  about  three  feet  high.  The  skin  or  bark  of 
the  stalk  is  made  into  thread,  linen,  lace,  and  other 
things. 

When  the  flax  is  ripe,  it  is  pulled  out  of  the 
ground  by  the  roots,  and  the  seed  is  beaten  off. 
The  stalks  are  then  spread  thin  on  the  grass,  in  a 
field,  where  the  rain,  dew,  and  sun,  rot  them. 
They  are  then  broken,  and  the  bark  or  skin  is 
cleaned^  and  made  ready  for  spinning  and  weaving 
into  linen. 

Of  the  seed  is  made  an  oil,  called  linseed  oil, 
which  is  used  in  painting,  and  for  other  purposes.

Ginger  is  the  root  of  the  ginger  plant  that  grows 
in  the  AVest  Indies.  The  stalk  of  this  plant  rises 
about  four  feet  above  the  ground,  and  "withers  near 
the  end  of  the  year. 

The  roots  are  then  dug  up,  cleaned,  and  dried, 
"with  great  care  ;  they  are  next  packed  in  bags,  so 
as  to  be  ready  for  the  market. 

These  roots  being  ground  in  a  mill,  make  the 
ginger  that  is  in  common  use.

Salt  is  made  of  sea-water,  or  from  springs  of 
salt  water.  That  which  is  called  rock  salt  is  dug 
out  of  salt  mines. 

Large  pits  or  basins  are  made  to  contain  the 
water,  which,  being  first  warmed,  is  left  to  the  heat 
of  the  sun,  and  the  wind,  to  dry. 

In  a  short  time  the  top  of  tho  briny  water  is 
covered  with  a  crust,  which  grows  harder  and 
harder,  till  it  becomes  salt.

LESSON  14. 

Children,  try  to  have  a  true  sense  of  what  you 
learn,  and  do  not  slip  over. your  words  or  lessons 
without  knowing  them  well. 

If  you  are  at  a  loss  to  know  the  meaning  of  a 
word,  or  sentence,  ask  your  teacher  to  explain  it  to

LESSON  16. 

Many  have  wislicd,  -when  they  have  grown  up  to 
be  men  or  women,  that  they  had  bent  their  minds 
more  to  their  learning,  while  they  were  young. 

When  it  is  too  late  to  learn,  or  out  of  their  power 
to  study,  they  are  sorry  that  the  time  of  their  youth 
was  wasted  in  play  and  idleness,  which  ought  to 
have  been  employed  in  learning  their  lessons,  and 
striving  to  improve. 

Now  is  your  time,  improve  it  well,  and  you  will 
not  have  to  repent  it  when  you  grow  up. 

Time,  once  past,  never  returns ;  the  moment 
which  is  lost,  is  lost  for  ever.

LESSON  18. 
Birds'  nests. 

When  spring  comes,  how  busy  the  birds  arc  in 
building  their  nests,  and  taking  care  of  their  young 
ones. 

Some  make  their  nests  on  high  trees,  and  some 
on  the  ground ;  some  in  the  woods,  and  others  in 
the  fields  and  meadows. 

Some  build  in  thick  bushes,  or  briers,  and  others 
in  barns,  houses,  and  chimneys. 

With  much  labour,  some  peck  holes  in  trees  that 
are  dead,  and  therein  make  their  nests  ;  while  others 
lay  their  eggs  on  the  ground,  without  making  any 
nest  at  all.

LESSON  20. 

How  various  also  are  the  forms  of  tlieir  nests  ! 

Some  collect  dead  grass,  root'',  or  straw,  with 
which  they  make  the  outside  of  the  nest,  and  line  it 
with  soft  feathers,  moss,  or  Wool. 

Others  build  their  nests  with  straw  or  sticks,  and 
cement  them  with  claj  or  mud ;  others  again  unite 
them  with  gum,  and  line  them  with  some  soft  sub- 
stance. 

Some  kinds  of  birds  suspend  their  nests  from  the 
bough  of  a  tree,  and  form  them  of  tow,  bark,  or 
hemp.

LESSON  22. 

The  size  and  colour  of  their  eff^s  are  as  various 
as  their  nests ;  but  they  all  appear  to  be  tender  of 
their  young  ones,  and  careful  to  provide  food  for 
them,  and  to  nourish  and  protect  them  till  they  are 
old  enough  to  take  care  of  themselves. 

How  -wanton,  how  cruel  is  it,  then,  to  rob  the 
birds  of  their  eggs,  or  their  yoting! 

And  yet  some  little  boys  are  so  hard-hearted  as 
to  destroy  their  nests,  and  take  their  eggs;  and 
some  who  take  the  young  birds  from  their  soft, 
warm  nests,  forget  to  feed  them  ;  and  then  the  poor 
little  birds  die  with  hunger  and  cold.

Creation. 

In  six  days,  God  made  the  world,  and  all  thing3 
that  are  in  it.  He  made  the  sun  to  shine  by  day, 
and  the  moon  and  stars  to  give  light  by  night. 

He  made  all  the  beasts  that  walk  on  the  earth, 
all  the  birds  that  fly  in  the  air,  and  all  the  fishes 
that  swim  in  the  water. 

Each  herb,  and  plant,  and  tree,  is  the  work  of  his 
hands.

All  living  creatures  that  move  in  this  wide  world 
were  made  bj  God,  and  owe  to  him  their  life  and 
their  being. 

And  God  made  man  of  the  dust  of  the  earth,  and 
breathed  into  him  the  breath  of  life,  and  gave  him 
rule  over  all  that  he  had  made. 

And  man  gave  names  to  all  cattle,  and  to  the 
fowls  of  the  air,  and  to  every  beast  of  the  field.

LESSON  5. 
Water-fo'wis, 

Some  birds  live  on  fish,  frogs,  and  worms,  and 
have  very  long  legs  to  wade  in  the  water  ;  others 
have  short  legs  for  swimming ;  and  their  toes  are 
joined  together  bj  a  skin  that  grows  between  them, 
which,  like  oars,  or  the  fins  of  a  fish,  helps  them  to 
swim. 

Many  water-fowls  have  long  necks,  to  reach  grubs 
and  worms  at  the  bottom  of  ponds. 

As  they  live  much  in  cold  water,  their  feathers 
are  very  thick,  and  they  have  plenty  of  soft  down 
to  keep  them  warm. 

AVhcn  they  put  their  heads  under  the  water,  a 
thin  skin  is  drawn  over  the  eye,  which  hinders  the 
water  from  getting  into  it,  and  yet  does  not  prevent 
them  from  seeing.

LESSON  6. 
Many  birds,  at  the  approach  of  winter,  fly  away 
into  warmer  countries,  where  they  stay  till  spring, 


and  then  return  to  us  again. 


Some  stay  with  us  all  winter,  and  live  on  grass- 
seeds  and. grain. 

How  great,  how  wise,  and  how  good  is  the  boun- 
tiful Creator,  who  has  formed  so  great  a  variety  of 
birds,  and  placed  them  in  such  order  that  each 
knows  and  keeps  its  proper  place ! 

lie  provides  food  for  them  all,  and  takes  care  of 
them  all,  so  that  "not  a  sparrow  can  fall  to  the 
ground  without  his  notice."

"Whatever  brawls  disturb  tlie  street, 
There  should  be  peace  at  home; 

Where  sisters  dwell  and  brothers  meet, 
Quarrels  should  never  come. 

Eirds  in  their  little  nests  agree, 

And  'tis  a  shameful  sight, 
AVhen  children  of  one  family 

Fall  out,  and  chide,  and  tight. 

Hard  names  at  first,  and  threat-ning  words, 

That  are  but  noisy  breath.

The  devil  tempts  one  mother's  son 

To  rage  against  another ; 
So  wicked  Cain  was  hurried  on, 

Till  he  had  lulled  his  brother. 

The  wise  will  make  their  anger  cool, 

At  least  before  'tis  night; 
But  in  the  bosom  of  a  fool 

It  burns  till  morning  light. 

Pardon,  0  Lord,  our  childish  rage, 

Our  little  brawls  remove, 
That,  as  we  grow  to  riper  age, 

Our  hearts  may  all  be  love.

The  good  hoy. 

A  good  boy  -loves  his  parents,  brothers,  and 
sisters. 

He  always  minds  what  his  parents  say  to  him, 
and  tries  to  please  them. 

If  they  desire  liiin  not  to  do  a  thing,  he  does  not 
do  it;  if  they  tell  him  to  do  any  thing,  he  does  it 
cheerfully. 

When  they  deny  hira  what  he  wants,  he  does  not 
grumble,  or  pout  out  his  lips,  or  look  angry,  or 
cry ;  but  he  thinks  that^  his  parents  know  what  is 
proper  for  him,  better  than  he  does,  because  thsy 
are  older  and  wiser. 

He  is  kind  to  his  brothers  and  sisters,  and  to  all 
his  little  playmates.  He  never  teases  them  nor 
quarrels  with  them,  nor  calls  ill  names.

He  does  hot  behave  rudely  to  any  body  ;  but  he 
treats  all  with  respect. 

If  he  sees  any  persons  who  are  lame,  or  crooked, 
or  very  old  and  poor,  he  does  not  laugh  at  them, 
nor  mock  or  make  game  of  them,  because  he  knows 
it  is  wroTig  ;  but  he  is  kind  to  them,  and  glad  when 
he  can  help  them^  or  do  them  good. 

When  he  sees  naughty  boys  and  girls,  who  pout 
and  cry,  and  get  angry,  and  quarrel  or  fight,  he  is 
very  sorry,  and  tries  to  persuade  them  to  do  better. 

He  is  kind  even  to  dumb  creatures,  such  as 
beasts,  birds,  fishes,  insects,  and  worms ;  for  he 
knows  that,  though  they  cannot  speak,  they  can 
feel  as  well  as  we. 

LESSON  9. 

Even  those  animals  that  he  does  not  think  pretty, 
he  takes  care  not  to  hurt ;  and  he  is  very  sorry 
when  he  sees  the  poor  horses  beaten  by  the  drivers, 
when  they  are  drawing  heavy  loads. 

He  never  takes  delight  in  catching  flies,  or  other 
insects,  and  pulling  off  their  wings  or  legs  ;  because 
he  thinks  it  is  cruel  to  torture  them,  and  give  them 
pain. 

He  likes  very  much  to  see  the  little  birds  pick 
up  moss,  or  hay,  or  bits  of  wool  or  hair,  and  carry 
them  in  their  bills  to  make  their  nests. 

And  if  he  finds  a  bird's  nest,  he  does  not  touch 
the  eggs  or  the  young  birds,  nor  do  them  any  harm.

LESSON  10. 

lie  loves  his  teachers,  and  all  who  have  the  care 
of  him,  and  who  tell  him  what  is  good  ;  and  he  is 
very  willing  to  take  their  advice. 

He  often  thinks  how  kind  they  are  to  him,  to  in- 
struct him,  and  to  keep  him  out  of  danger,  and  he 
is  thankful  for  their  love  and  care. 

lie  likes  to  go  to  school,  and  to  read  and  write, 
and  to  learn  something  good  every  day  ;  that,  if  he 
should  live  to  be  a  man,  he  may  be  wise  and  good.

LESSON  2. 

He  never  takes  any  thing  that  is  not  his  own, 
nor  meddles  with  it  without  leave. 

When  he  walks  into  the  garden  or  orchard,  ho 
does  not  pull  flowers  or  gather  fruit,  unless  he  is 
told  that  he  may  do  so. 

0 

He  never  teases  his  parents  for  green  apples  or 
unripe  fruit,  or  any  thing  else  that  is  not  proper  for 
him;  but  he  is  content  and  thankful  for  what  they 
give  him. 

At  table  he  sits  up,  and  is  quiet,  till  he  is  served, 
and  then  eats  what  is  given  him,  in  a  decent  man- 
ner, without  talking,  or  asking  for  more,  when  he 
has  enough.

LESSON  4. 

lie  never  tells  a  lie,  nor  departs  from  the  truth. 
If  he  has  done  any  mischief,  or  said  any  naughty 
word,  he  confesses  it,  and  says  he  is  very  sorry, 
and  that  he  will  try  to  do  so  no  more.  lie  never 
tries  to  conceal  his  faults,  but  he  is  ■filing  to  own 
them,  and  tr}^  to  do  better. 

"When  any  body  speaks  to  him,  he  does  not  hang 
down  his  head,  or  mutter,  or  look  another  way ; 
but  he  answers  in  a  modest  and  proper  manner, 
and  always  speaks  loud  enough  to  be  heard  plainly. 
AVhen  he  reads  or  repeats  his  lesson,  he  always 
tries  to  do  it  with  a  clear  voice,  so  as  to  be  heard 
distinctly.

LESSON  6. 

When  he  lies  down  at  night,  he  tries  to  remem- 
ber all  he  has  been  doing,  and  all  that  he  has-been 
saying  during  the  day.  If  he  has  done  or  said  any 
thing  wrong,  he  is  sorry,  and  hopes  he  shall  do  so 
no  more. 

He  loves  to  pray  to  God,  and  to  hear,  and  read, 
and  think  about  him ;  and  he  loves  to  go  to  church 
with  his  parents  and  friends,  to  worship  him. 

Every  body  that  knows  this  good  .boy  loves  him, 
and  speaks  well  of  him,  and  is  kind  to  him,  and  he 
is  very  happy :  for  those  who  are  good  are  always 
the  most  happy.

LESSON  2. 

A  little  girl  about  five  years  of  age,  speaking  to 
her  mother  about  going  to  church,  said,  *' Mother, 
I  try  to  sit  still  when  at  church,  and  think  of  the 
great  and  Almighty  Being,  and  love  him. 

"  I  love  him  better  than  I  do  my  parents,  because 
he  is  so  good  to  let  me  have  my  parents.  He  is 
very  kind  to  us  :  we  have  a  great  many  good  things, 
and  I  think  we  are  greatly  blessed.  I  have  every 
thing  I  want.  I  love  my  parents  next  to  God ;  and 
I  love  every  body."

LESSON  4. 

The  camel  is  a  native  of  Arabia.  He  is  one  of 
the  most  useful  beasts  in  that  part  of  the  world. 

He  is  able  to  carry  very  heavy  burdens,  and  he 
will  kneel  down  to  receive  them,  and  when  his  load 
is  put  on,  Re  rises  on  his  feet  again :  but  if  it  be 
too  great,  he  will  not  rise,  but  cry  till  a  part  of  it 
is  taken  off. 

The  camel  will  travel  two  days  without  eating 
any  thing,  and  a  much  longer  time  without  drink. 


VIRGINIA  SERIES.  47 

LESSON  6. 

The  camel  has  a  very  small  head,  short  ears,  and 
a  long  bending  neck.  It  has  two  bunches  on  its 
back,  on  which  they  place  its  load.  Its  height,  to 
the  top  of  the  bunches,  is  about  six  feet  and  a  half. 
It  has  a  long  tail,  small  hoofs,  and  flat  feet. 

Its  milk  and  its  flesh  are  used  by  the  Arabs  for 
food,  and  its  hair  is  made  into  clothing.

LESSON  2. 

Disobedience  punished. 

Little  Henry  was  a  very  smart,  lively  boy ;  he 
was  the  son  of  a  worthy  man,  who  lived  in  a  town, 
near  which  many  accidents  had  happened  to  youth 
and  others  hv  horses.  * 

His  parents  had  often  told  him  not  to  go  near  to 
a  horse,  nor  attempt  to  get  on  one  to  ride,  without 
their  leave ;  and  pointed  out  the  danger  of  little 
boys  riding  on  horses,  before  they  are  old  enough 
to  manage  them.

LESSON  4. 

But  Henry  being  one  day  at  play  with  another 
little  boy,  at  some  distance  from  home,  and  seeing 
a  nice  plump  little  horse,  he  did  not  regard  his  pa- 
rents' advice,  but  asked  leave  of  the  owner  to  ride  it. 

As  soon  as  tlie  man  had  given  them  leave,  though 
he  told  them  not  to  ride  fast,  yet  they  both  got  on, 
and  began  to  kick  and  beat  the  horse,  to  make  him 
gallop. 

Upon  this  a  dog  ran  out,  and  began  to  bark  at 
them,  and  the  horse  set  off  at  full  speed.

LESSON  G. 

The  two  little  boys  rode  but  a  little  way  before 
the  hindmost  one  fell  off;  and  though  he  was  not 
very  much  hurt,  he  was  greatly  terrified. 

Henry  was  not  able  to  guide  the  horse,  but  he 
fell  soon  after,  and  his  foot  being  in  the  -stirrup,  he 
was  dragged  with  his  head  on  the  ground  for  some 
distance ;  and  when  the  people  caught  the  horse, 
and  released  him  from  the  saddle,  he  appeared 
almost  dead,  and  did  not  know  any  thing.

They  soon  found  that  he  was  very  much  bruised, 
and  that  one  of  his  arms  was  broken. 

In  this  state  he  was  taken  home,  and  had  his  arm 
set,  and  his  wounds  dressed ;  but  he  suffered  very 
great  pain,  and  for  many  months  he  could  not  use 
his  arm. 

Now  think  what  great  trouble  it  must  have  given 
his  parents,  because  he  had  been  so  naughty,  and 
did  what  they  had  told  him  not  to  do.

Obedience  to  parents. 

Let  children  that  would  fear  the  Lord, 
Hear  what  their  teachers  say  ; 

AVith  reverence  meet  their  "parents'  word, 
And  with  delight  obey. 

Have  we  not  heard  what  dreadful  plagues 

Are  threaten'd  by  the  Lord, 
To  him  who  breaks  his  father's  law, 

Or  mocks  his  mother's  word  ? 

But  those  that  worship  God,  and  give 

Their  parents  honor  due, 
Here  on  this  earth  they  long  may  live, 

And  live  hereafter  too.

LESSON  4. 

The  days  that  are  past  are  gone  for  ever :  those 
that  are  to  come  may  not  come  to  us.  The  present 
time  only  is  ours ;  let  us,  therefore,  improve  it  as 
much  as  possihle. 

Every  desire  of  the  heart,  every  secret  thought, 
is  known  to  Him  who  made  us. 

How  pleasant  it  is,  when  w*e  lie  down  at  night,  to 
reflect  that  we  are  at  'peace  with  all  persons !  that 
we  have  taken  care  to  perform  the  duties  of  the 
day ;  that  the  Almighty  beholds  and  loves  us.

LESSON  2. 

Blessed  is  the  man  that  walkcth  in  the  fear  of 
the  Lord. 

Happy  is  he  that  findeth  wisdom ;  for  the  Avays 
of  wisdom  and  virtue  are  all  pleasant,  and  lead  to 
life  and  peace :  but  they  that  hate  wisdom  and 
truth,  walk  in  the  paths  of  darkness,  which  lead  to 
death. 

Therefore  love,  wisdom,  and  pursue  the  paths  of 
virtue  and  peace,  so  shall  glory  and  safety  be  thy 
reward.

LESSON  4. 

"What  some  call  the  works  of  nature,  are  tlio 
works  of  God. 

The  more  wo  study,  observe,  and  know  of  his 
works  in  the  visible  creation,  the  more  we  shall  see 
of  the  wisdom  and  goodness  of  the  great  Creator. 

The  study  of  plants  and  flowers,  is  called  Botany  ; 
which  is  a  science  that  describes  the  various  parts 
of  which  they  are  composed.  It  is  a  pleasing  study 
to  children  and  young  people  ;  and  if  rightly  pur- 
sued, must  not'  only  amuse  them,  but  raise  their 
minds  to  consider  tlie  wisdom  and  goodness  of  the

LESSON  C. 
Effects  of  Disolcdience. 

We  Lave  read  of  two  boys  who  made  a  paper 
kite,  and  put  it  in  a  proper  place  to  dry. 

Next  morning,  their  father  gave  them  their  ley- 
sons  to  learn,  and  told  them,  when  they  could  say 
them  well,  they  might  go  into  the  field  and  fly  their 
kite. 

He  then  left  them  for  a  short  time,  telling  them 
not  to  go  out  till  he  came  back,  and  he  would  go 
with  them  to  fly  the  kite. 

But,  as  soon  as  he  was  gone  out,  the  oldest  boy 
said  to  his  brother,  Now  let  us  go  and  fly  the  kite, 
and  then  get  our  lessons.  So  they  both  went  out 
of  the  house  with  the  kite.

LESSON  8. 

Before  the  two  boys  had  gone  many  steps,  the 
younger  brother  stopped,  and  said  he  thought  they 
were  very  naughty,  to  go  out  before  they  had  learned 
their  lessons,  as  their  father  told  them :  so  he  went 
back  to  his  task. 

The  older  boy  said  he  "would  go  and  atouse  him- 
self a  few  minutes  with  the  kite,  and  then  return  ia 
time  to  get  his  lesson. 

So  he  went ;  but  no  sooner  was  the  kite  raised  in 
the  air,  than  he  heard  a  voice  of  some  person,  and 
he  thought  it  was  his  father  calling  him.  So,  in 
haste,  he  tried  to  draw  in  his  kite ;  but  while  doing 
so,  the  string  got  fast  in  the  limbs  of  an  old  tree.

LESSON  10. 

He  had  no  way  to  get  the  string  loose,  but  to 
climb  up  the  tree  ;  and  in  doing  this,  he  put  his 
foot  on  a  dead  limb,  which  broke  off,  and  he  fell  to 
the  ground. 

By  the  fall  he  was  very  mu<ch  bruised  and  hurt, 
so  that  he  could  not  stand  or  walk  for  some  time: 
but,  at  last,  he  made  out  to  get  to  the  house,  though 
in  much  pain. 

Just  at  that  moment  his  father  came  in  at  another 
door. 

He  was  taken  to  bed,  and  lay  some  time  in  much 
pain  of  body  and  grief  of  mind. 

The  younger  brother  was  a  good  boy,  and  got  his 
lesson  ;  he  then  went  with  his  father  to  fly  the  kite, 
and  was  happy.

LESSON  14. 

The  tables  of  many  poor  people  arc  often  nearly 
bare,  and  the  children  ..are  crying'for  bread,  but 
there  is  none  to  give  them. 

When  the  precious  morsel  that  was  earned  by 
hard  labour  is  brought  home,  it  is  soon  gone ;  and 
they  know  not  where  the  next  supply  is  to  come 
from  :  they  often  go  hungry  all  day,  and  to  bed  at 
night  without  any  supper.

Beaver  Dams. 

For  the  purpose  of  building,  a  dam,  they  choose 
a  piece  of  level  ground,  near  a  river,  or  with  a 
stream  of  water  running  through  it,  which  they 
form  into  a.pond  by  making  a  bank,  or  dam  across  it. 

This  they  do  by  fixing  stakes  in  the  ground,  five 
or  six  feet  long,  placed  in  rows;  which  they  fasten 
together  with  twigs,  after  the  manner  in  which  bas- 
kets are  made,  and  plaster  up  the  cracks  with  clay.

LESSON  22. 

The  length  of  a  beaver  dam  is  sometimes  as  much 
as  a  hundred  feet,  and  tlie  breadth,  at  the  bottom, 
ten  or  twelve  feet  ;■  but  they  are  made  sloping 
towards  the  top,  which  is  not  more  than  two  feet 
■wide. 

Their  caffiins  or  huts  are  built  upon  piles  in  the 
edp:e  of  the  pond,  of  a  round  or  oval  shape. 

They  are  sometimes  eight  feet  high  above  the  top 
of  the  water,  and  have  two  or  three  stories. 

I^ie  Walls  or  sides  are  often  two  feet  thick,  and 
are  made  of  earth,  stones,  and  sticks,  laid  very 
closely,  and  then  plastered  smooth  on  the  inside, 
like  a  house. 

In  these  cabins  they  store  their  winter  food, 
which  consists  of  bark  and  boughs  of  trees.

LKSSON  24. 

There  are  often  as  many  as  two  hundred  beavers 
at  work  in  building  one  of  these  dams,  and  their 
huts  or  cabins ;  about  which  they  use  their  very 
strong  and  sharp  fore  teeth,  in  felling  trees,  and 
cutting  off  log8. 

While  some  of  them  are  cutting  off  limbs  for 
stakes  to  be  driven  into  the  ground,  others  are 
busy  in  bringing  clay  to  plaster  with,  or  id  rolling 
logs,  or  carrying  stakes  and  twigs,  for  the  buil\iing.

LESSON  2G, 

The  great  God  made  all  things. 

What  some  call  the  works  of  nature  are  the 
works  of  God. 

The  more  we  study  and  know  of  his  woiks,  the 
more  we  see  of  the  wisdom  and  goodness  of  the 
great  Creator. 

He  formed  all  creatures  to  suit  the  modes  of  life 
for  which  they  were  made,>ind  he  gives  them  all 
the  comforts  of  which  their  nature  is  capable.

A  little  boy,  who  had  been  sent  on  an  errand, 
saw  a  robin's  nest  by  the  way;  and  as  he  came 
near  to  it,  the  old  bird  flew  off — but  having  young 
ones,  she  flew  about,  and  with  many  cries,  showed 
her  concern  for  them'. 

The  boy  stood,  and  threw  stones  at  her ;  till  at 
last,  one  struck  her,  and  she  fell  down  dead. 

At  first  he  was  pleased  with  what  he  had  done;   • 
but,  after  a  few  minutes,  he  felt  very  great  horror 
and  sorrow  for  having,  in  his  sport,  killed  an  inno- 
cent bird,  while  she  was  careful  for  her  young.

VIRGINIA    SERIES. 


LESSON  30. 


69 


He-  stood  still,  and  looked  at  her  lying  dead  on 
the  ground,  and  thought  that  those  young  ones  for 
which  she  had  been  so  careful,  must  now  perish  for 
want  of  their  dam  to  nourish  them. 

After  some  painful  thoughts  -on  the  subject,  he 
climbed  up  the  tree,  and  took  all  the  young  robins 
and  killed  them  :  thinking  that  better  than  to  leave 
them  to  pine  away,  and  starve  to  death,  in  great 
misery. 

He  then  went  on  his  errand,  but  for  some  hours 
after,  he  could  think  of  nothing  else  but  the  cruel- 
ties he  had  committed,  and  he  was  much  troubled 
in  his  mind  on  account  thereof.

LESSON  32. 

Thus  we  may  see  that  He,  whose  tender  mercies 
are  over  all  his  works,  hath  placed  a  principle  in 
the  human  mind,  which  incites  us  to  do  good  to 
every  living  creature. 

This  being  rightly  attended  to,  people  become 
kind  and  tender-hearted  one  to  another,  and  also 
towards  all  dumb  creatures,  such  aa  birds,  beasts, 
fishes,  worms,  and  insects. 

But  if  this  tender  feeling  in  the' mind  is  not  re- 
garded, people  become  hard-hearted  and  cruel,  not 
only  towards  animals,  but  even  to  one  another. 

Take  not  in  sport  that  life  you  cannot  give, 
For  all  things  have  an  equal  right  to  live.

Almighty  God,  thy  piercing  eye 

Strikes  through  the  shades  of  night, 

And  our  most  secret  actions  lie 
All  open  to  thy  sight. 

There's  not  a  sin  that  we  commit, 

Nor  wicked  word  we  say, 
But  in  God's  dreadful  book  'tis  writ, 

Against  the  judgment  day. 

0  may  I  now  for  ever  fear 
To  indulge  a  sinful  thought ; 

Since  the  great  God  can  see  and  liear, 
And  writes  doyrn  ev'ry  fault.

LESSON  36. 
Anecdote, 

A  little  boj  being  at  a  neighbour's  house,  and 
seeing  some  nuts  in  a  barrel,  felt  a  wish  to  have 
some  of  them.  As  no  person  was  present,  he  put 
his  hand  into  the  cask  to  take  one  of  the  nuts. 

But  while  in  the  act  of  doing  so,  he  was  smitten 
with  a  sense  or  conviction  that  it  was  wrong:  so 
he  drew  his  hand  back  without  taking  any,  and  felt 
glad  that  he  had  not  given  way  to  stealing. 

When  he  went  home,  he  told  his  father  the*wholo 
affair,  and  how  he  had  a  secret  check  in  his  mind, 
that  kept  him  from  taking,  what  was  not  his  own. 

His  father  told  him  always  to  take  heed  to  that 
which  reproved  him,  when  he  was  thus  tempted  to 
steal ;  for  it  was  the  Spirit  of  Truth  that  had  met 
with  him,  in  order  to  keep  him  from  sinning.

LESSON  38. 
Cautions  about  fire. 

When  a  lamp  or  candle  is  to  be  carried  iti  the 
hand,  always  hold  it  at  a  distance  from  you,  lest  it 
should  set  your  dress  on  fire. 

If  it  is  needful  to  take  a  candle  or  lamp  near  a 
closet  where  there  is  clothing,  muslin,  or  papers, 
take  care  that  no  spark  or  snuff  fall  among  such 
goods  as  may  take  fire. 

Never  put  ashes  where  any  clothing,  wood,  or 
other  things  that  will  burn,  are  near,  lest  it  kindle 
in  the  night  and  set  the  house  on  fire. 

Never  take  fire  near  a  barn  or  stable,  or  where 
there  is  straw,  paper  or  shavings. 

See  that  all  the  lights  and  fire  are  safe,  before 
going  toJj)ed.

LESSON  2. 

Never  play  ball  in  the  house,  nor  by  the  side  of 
the  house,  viien  the  windows  are  open. 

A  little  boy  was  once  playing  with  his  ball  in  a 
room  where  there  was  a  looking-glass,  when  his 
father  and  mother  were  gone  from  home. 

Before  he  began  to  l)lay,  he  liad  turned  the  back 
of  the  glass  towards  him,  for  fear  he  should  break 
it.  It  would  have  been  better,  if  he  had  gone  out 
of  doors  to  play. 

I  wonder  he  was  not  afraid  of  breaking  the  win- 
dows, but  perhaps  he  did  not  think  of  them. 


VIRGINIA   SERIES.

LESSON  3. 

As  tho  little  boy  was  busy  in  playing  with  his 
ball  about  the  room,  and  not  thinking  of  the  look- 
ing glass,  the  ball  struck  against  the  wooden  back, 
and  broke  the  glass. 

When  he  saw  the  damage  he  had  done,  he  was 
very  sorry  ;  and  no  doubt  wished  he  had  not  played 
ball  in  the  house,  as  he  was  afraid  his  parents  would 
be  angry  with  him. 

However,  he  thought  it  would  be  best  to  confess 
his  fault,  and  to  speak  the  truth  about  it.

LESSON  5. 

As  soon  as  his  father  and  mother  came  home,  he 
went  to  them,  and  said,  Father,  I  have  been  play- 
ing with  my  ball  in  the  house,  and  have  broken  the 
best  looking  glass ;  I  am  very  sorry  for  it. 

His  father,  seeing  how  honest  he  was  to  come 
and  confess  his  fault,  looked  kindly  at  him,  and 
said,  "I  would  rather  that  all  the  looking  glasses 
in  the  house  should  be  broken,  than  that  one  of  my 
children  should  tell  an  untruth."

LESSON  8. 

As  the  little  boy  was  very  sorry  for  the  mischief 
he  had  done,  and  had  behaved  so  well  as  to  confess 
his  fault,  his  parents  forgave  him. 

After  that  time  he  saw  how  good  it  was  to  own 
his  faults,  and  always  tell  the  truth  about  them ; 
that,  if  he  met  with  any  accident,  he  confessed  it, 
and  would  not,  on  any  account,  tell  a  lie,  or  depart 
from  the  truth. 

It  ia  a  wicked  thing  to  tell  falsehoods ;  and  those 
who  give  way  thereto,  will  not  be  believed,  even 
when  they  speak  the  truth. 

But  he  who  owns  his  faults,  and  always  keeps  to 
the  truth,  will  gain  favour.

0  'tis  a  lovely  thing  for  yonth 

To  walk  betimes  in  wisdom's  way, 
To  fear  a  lie,  to  speak  the  truth, 

That  we  may  trust  to  all  they  say ! 
But  liars  we  can  never  trust, 

Tho'  they  shouldst  speak  the  thing  that's  true ; 
For  he  that  tells  one  fault  at  first, 

And  lies  to  hide  it,  makes  it  two.

Before  the  day  of  grace  is  fled ; 
There's  no  repentance  in  the  grave, 

Nor  pardon  offer'd  to  the  dead.

Our  best  friends  are  those  who  tell  us  of  our 
faults,  and  teach  us  how  to  correct  them. 

Good  or  bad  habits,  formed  in  youth,  commonly 
go  with  us  through  life. 

When  we  confess  our  errors,  and  are  sorry  for 
them,  generous  and  good  persons  will  pity  and  for- 
give us. 

We  must  not  do  wrong,  because  we  see  others 
do  so. 

Whatever  is  worth  doing  at  all,  is  worth  doing 
well ;  but  we  cannot  do  any  thing  well  without 
attention. 

If  we  do  not  take  pains,  we  must  not  expect  to 
excel  in  any  thing.

Never  sport  with  pain  or  distress  in  any  of  your 
amusements,  nor  treat  even  the  meanest  worm  or 
insect  with  wanton  cruelty. 

When  you  see  those  who  are  poor  or  old,  lame  or 
blind,  sick  or  in  pain,  try  to  feel  pity  for  them,  and 
be  thankful  to  your  Heavenly  Father  for  his  provi- 
dence and  care  over  you,  and  the  many  blessings 
which  you  enjoy. 

We  see  many  little  children  running  about  the 
streets,  who  are  dirty  and  ragged,  and  appear  as  if 
they  had  none  to  take  care  of  them. 

How  kind  are  our  parents  and  friends,  who  pro- 
vide food  and  clothing  for  us,  and  how  grateful 
ought  we  to  be  for  their  love  and  care ! 

In  the  days  of  youth,  when  health  and  pleasure 
attend  us,  it  is  good  for  us  to  think  of  death,  and 
frequently  to  consider  our  latter  end.

Paper. 

Paper  is  made  of  old  rags,  that  are  no  longer  fit 
for  use  as  clothes. 

They  are  sorted,  and  cut  into  small  pieces,  and 
"washed  clean.  They  are  then  put  into  a  vessel 
filled  with  water,  in  which  is  a  roller  with  sharp 
knives  set  in  it ;  this  roller  is  turned  round  very 
swiftly  by  a  mill,  and  cuts  or  grinds  the  rags  into  a 
pulp  or  paste,  which  is  taken  up  by  a  mould,  and 

made  into  paper.

LESSON  5. 

The  mould  is  a  kind  of  sieve,  just  the  size  of  a 
sheet  of  paper,  and  is  formed  of  very  fine  brass 

wire. 

This  mould,  being  dipped  into  the  pulp,  takes  up 
just  enough  for  one  sheet  of  paper,  which  is  laid  by 
till  several  quires  are  made  in  the  same  manner. 

It  is  then  pressed  very  hard  by  means  of  strong 
iron  screws,  and  afterwards  hung  up  to  dry. 

Next  it  is  sized  and  sorted,  and  put  up  into  quires 
for  writing  or  printing  on,  and  then  pressed  again.

LESSON  8. 
Let  Dogs  alone. 

A  large  mastiff  dog  was  kept  by  a  timber  mer- 
chant to  guard  his  yard,  and  was  commonly  chained 
by  day,  but  let  loose  by  night. 

A  boy,  who  lived  near,  took  a  pleasure  in  teasing 
the  dog,  by  throwing  sticks  and  stones  at  him,  and 
trying  to  vex  him. 

The  dog  was  loose  one  day,  and  ranging  about 
the  yard,  when  the  boy  entered,  and  he  immediately 
attacked  him  with  great  fury. 

The  boy  now  felt  the  effects  of  his  ill  usage  to 
the  dog,  and  was  sorry  he  had  been  so  unkind  and 
cruel  to  him,  but  it  seemed  too  late ;  for  the  en- 
raged animal  seized  him  by  the  throat,  and  brought 
him  to  the  ground,  and  it  is  most  likely  would  have 
put  an  end  to  his  life,  had  not  some  person  come  to 
assist  him,  and  with  much  difficulty  took  the  dog  off.

SECTION  II. 

Lessons  in  Italic  Letters. 

LESSON  1. 
On  sitting  cfown  to  Meals. 

When  I  at  table  take  my  seat, 
I  turn  my  thoughts  to  God  ahove. 

That  what's  before  me  I  may  eat 
With  gratitude  and  love. 

From  him  my  health  and  blessings  flow y 
My  breads  and  milk,  and  meat ; 

To  him  a  thankful  heart  I  owe. 
For  all  things  good  to  eat. 

This  grateful  sense  of  bounteous  goodf 

Such  humble  feelings  spread, 
That  I'm  content  with  needful  food^ 

And  thank  my  God  for  bread. 

LESSON  2. 

Paper  for  writing  or  printing,  is  made  of  old 
rags  that  are  no  longer  fit  for  use  as  clothes. 

Printing  was  invented  about  four  hundred  years 
ago.  People  luho  lived  before  that  time  had  no 
books  to  read  but  such  as  were  written  with  a  pen  ; 
and  those  were  very  scarce  and  very  dear,  so  that 
but  few  people  learned  to  read. 

Those  who  had  learned  to  write  were  called 
scribes  ;  and  the  books  or  rolls  which  were  written, 
or  copied,  the  scribes  read  to  the  multitude  who 
could  not  read. 

In  the  books  noio  printed  in  our  language,  Italic 
letters  are  used  chiefly  to  mark  some  word  or  words, 
on  which  greater  stress  or  emphasis  is  placed.
